Present tense of regular –er verbs
![Page 2: Français I – Leçon 2A Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166e7550346895ddb258d/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
In English, verbs are words that express actions or states of being.
You have already learned one verb in French: être (to be).
Être is an irregular verb because it does not follow a pattern.
![Page 3: Français I – Leçon 2A Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166e7550346895ddb258d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
There are also regular verbs in French. Regular verbs follow a
pattern. The most common regular verbs in French end with –er.
These are called “regular -er verbs”
![Page 4: Français I – Leçon 2A Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166e7550346895ddb258d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
To form “regular –er verbs,” you have to remove the –er from the verb,
and add new endings to the stem to match the subject pronouns. This is
called “conjugating.”
[Look at the example on the next slide. The verb is parler (to talk). Notice how the spelling changes depending on the subject pronoun.]

• Je becomes J’ when it appears before a verb that begins with a vowel sound. – J’adore -J’habite

Forming Questions
There are several ways to ask a question in French.
![Page 15: Français I – Leçon 2A Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166e7550346895ddb258d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1. Intonation• The simplest way to ask a question is to use
the same wording as a statement, but changing the tone of your voice. This is called intonation.
• In writing, you add a question mark at the end of the statement.
• This method is informal.
Vous habitez à Paris? Tu aimes le pizza?(You live in Paris?) (You like pizza?)
![Page 16: Français I – Leçon 2A Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166e7550346895ddb258d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2. Est-ce que…• A second way is to place the phrase Est-ce que…
directly before a statement. • If the next word begins with a vowel sound, use
Est-ce qu’…• Questions w/ est-ce que are formal.
Est-ce que vous habitez à Las Vegas? (Do you live in Las Vegas?)
Est-ce qu’il aime le pizza? (Does he like pizza?)
![Page 17: Français I – Leçon 2A Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166e7550346895ddb258d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3. Tag question• Place a tag question at the end of a statement. • This can be formal or informal.
On commence à 2h, d’accord? (We’re starting at 2:00, OK?)
Nous mangeons à midi, n’est-ce pas?(We eat at noon, don’t we?)
![Page 18: Français I – Leçon 2A Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166e7550346895ddb258d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
4. Inversion
• Invert the order of the subject pronoun and the verb and hyphenate them.
• If the verb ends in a vowel and the subject pronoun is il, elle, or on, -t- is inserted between the verb and the pronoun.
• Inversion is considered formal.
Parlez-vous français? Mange-t-il à midi?(Do you speak French?) (Does he eat at noon?)

Expressing Negation

Ne…pas
• To make a sentence negative, place ne before the conjugated verb and pas after it.
• If the verb has a vowel sound, place n’ before it instead of ne.
Je ne danse pas bien. Je n’aime pas les maths.
![Page 21: Français I – Leçon 2A Structures](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166e7550346895ddb258d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

• Use these expressions to respond to a statement or a question that requires a yes or no answer.
Oui = yesBien sûr = of course
Moi/toi non plus = me/you neither(mais) non = no (but of course not)
Pas du tout = not at allPeut-être = maybe, perhaps
